Challenge
Modern journalists are always late. A lot of events happen before journalist even arrive.
But we all use social media. We all become witnesses of something important occasionally. We shoot it with our mobiles and share online. Social networks are an endless mix of truth and fakes.
How to extract news from millions of posts daily? How to prove them? How to make them manageable and make a story from multiple chunks? - this was another challenge for us while working with Storyful, a well known startup, that currently belongs to News.corp.
